Welcome to the official webpage of 'the great Luke Ski', maker of comedy music for pop-culture geeks!

The best way to get up-to-date breaking news on what's currently going on with me is to follow me on Facebook and/or Twitter, and you can also sign up to support me at my Patreon page! I also would like you to encourage you to sign up for my E-Mailing List(in the right column), which is how I create the updates I post.

You can see some of my music videos at my YouTube page, and my music can be found at Bandcamp and at the Funny Music Project, a.k.a. "The FuMP", which gives away 2 new free comedy songs every week as MP3 downloads by a collective of acts currently making funny songs for internet shows like "The Dr. Demento Show" and a multitude of podcasts.

Speaking of podcasts, I am the co-host of three. "Kyle & Luke Talk About Toons", a fortnightly animation show with co-host "TV's Kyle" Carrozza. Another is a random chat show with one of my best friends featuring comedy music which gets posted whenever I have the time to edit it, "Luke & Carrie's Bad Rapport" with Carrie Dahlby. And "The Funny Music Podcast" with co-host Devo Spice, where we interview the 2 acts who posted new comedy songs that week at TheFuMP.com, which we record live weekly each Thursday night at 9pm EST / 6pm PST on the streaming audio comedy music station Dementia Radio dot org.

At MarsCon, a sci-fi convention held in the Twin Cities MN in early March, I am the chair of the comedy music main stage entertainment, which we call the MarsCon Dementia Track. I am also the Co-Chair of the FuMP's own weekend-long early summer comedy music event in Chicago called FuMPFeST, chaired by Devo Spice. Each year typically one of these two conventions hosts an event called "The Logan Whitehurst Memorial Awards for Excellence In Comedy Music", a concert/ceremony celebrating & awarding some of the best comedy music of the previous year.

I also recorded three sketch comedy albums with my colleages Devo Spice, ShoEboX of "Worm Quartet", and Chris Mezzolesta of "Power Salad" under the group name "Cirque du So What?".Note: The CdSW sketch albums are R-Rated, unlike my comedy music which tends to stay in the PG to PG-13 range, so consider yourself warned before checking it out. Those albums came out in 2010~2012, and we hope to record another in the not too distant future.

And now for something completely different...

I was a storyboard artist, revisionist, & writer on Cartoon Network's "Mighty MagiSwords", created by Kyle A. Carrozza. I also got to do voices for some of the characters on the show, including Skullivan, Docky Boardman, Nyando, Number Nine, Cattus the Oneblade, and Pugcake. You can see Mighty Magiswords at Cartoon Network's website and App, and episodes are also available to purchase on iTunes, Amazon, YouTube, & Google Play. You can also see many episodes on Hulu.

I'm currently looking for work as a storyboard artist or revisionist on a new show, so if you're interested in hiring me, please visit my professional Storyboard Resume Portfolio page, and my LinkedIn page. I am also SAG/AFTRA, so I am available for voice-over work as well. You can hear & see my VO Demo and download them as MP3 or MP4 at my Voice-Over page.

To check out my artwork (a lot of it from "Mighty MagiSwords"), I have a Tumblr page, as well as a DeviantArt page, and if you're interested in hiring me to create commissioned artwork (or hire me as a caricature artist for parties in the L.A. area), vists my website Art by Luke Ski dot com. I also have an Instagram, but it's pretty random (sometimes art, sometime pics of me being dumb, sometimes my cat Q*bert, etc.)

Also, I recently grew a beard. So there's that.

Thanks so much for visiting my page, and supporting my style of nerdy comedy music!

My latest song parody "CandyBars" was #1 on Dr. Demento's Top Ten for May 2017! Thank you all so much to all you calorie-counting fans who requested it!

"MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU",
MY ALL "STAR WARS" COMPILATION ALBUM IS
NOW ON BANDCAMP WITH NEW SONG, "ROGUE"!

"This will be a day long remembered", the 40th Anniversary of the release of "Star Wars"! To commemorate that, and by popular fan demand, I have put ALL OF MY STAR WARS SONG PARODIES onto one digital compilation album, titled "MAY THE FARCE BE WITH YOU", available at LukeSki.Bandcamp.com. For today only, May 25th, I'm selling this 53-minute collection for only five dollars and twenty-five cents. Yes, it's $5.25 on 5/25! After that, it'll be $9.99, so get it today and spread the word throughout your internet galaxy!

For this day and this collection, I have created a new "Star Wars" parody, "Rogue", which features the Urso-good Bonnie Gordon of "The Library Bards" on lead vocals, and the Leia-to-my-Luke Carrie Dahlby on background vocals, with a "most impressive" backing track by Jeff Dutton, aka Bonecage. You can download this track for free right now at the FuMP, http://www.thefump.com .

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
SO, HERE'S THE IMPORTANT PART THAT I NEED YOUR HELP WITH! If you're reading this update, chances are, you already own all of the tracks on the "Farce" collection, except for "Rogue", which you can get at the FuMP for free. So, the "Farce" collection wasn't really made for you. It was made for all of the people that you know and talk to on social media who DON'T have any of my songs, but you know would love them if they heard them. I'm doing this $5.25 on 5/25 deal as a promotion to try to get some attention to myself today as the nation's premiere maker of nerdy comedy songs that nobody has ever heard of. So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE share the Bandcamp album link (http://lukeski.bandcamp.com/album/may-the-farce-be-with-you) and the FuMP link to "Rogue" (http://www.thefump.com/fump.php?id=2196) to your Twitter, Facebook, Tumblr, Instagram, Google+, MySpace, LiveJournal, smoke signals, semaphore, morse code, and two tin cans with a string between them. Any online attention and press you guys can get me today would be very much appreciated.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks everyone, and I hope you all enjoy this surprise bonus Thursday FuMP track. Celebrate Star Wars today like an ewok drumming on a stormtrooper helmet, and may the force be with you, always.

Well, another MarsCon has come and gone, and man was that amazing. The legendary Judy Tenuta graced the Main Stage (and Khan's Mongolian Barbecue), the Library Bards rocked the house in their first appearance, and I performed a world premiere song and some cool covers with nary a rehearsal to be seen. Or done. Like, at all. Anyway, before I spend all weekend storyboarding, I figured I'd knock out a quick Update to let you all know what new stuff has cropped up over the past month. Enjoy! 🙂

Please head over to the Shop page and pick up the MarsCon 2017 Dementia Track Fund Raiser MP3 album! It's nearly 4 hours of live concert recordings from MarsCon 2016, for only $20.00! All proceeds cover the hotel costs of the track performers!
